I do not recall a very strong reason for letting this survive. I
suppose x-systemd.automount should be sufficient for when we don't
want a mount to delay local-fs.target?

The admin has the full power over how these things shall behave when
they write their own .mount files. What Zbigniew is asking is what the
default behavior should be when we interpret the legacy /etc/fstab
(which is less powerful than .mount files, so some choices have to be
made).
